What are 'atmospheric rivers'? How do they influence global weather patterns and impact human settlements?
Main Body
The influence on global weather pattern: (1) Determine the precipitation pattern and intensity by measure. (2) Control the humidity of a region. (3) Temperature regulation through adiabatic process, specific heat etc. (4) Influence the direction and speed of wind flow (eg. trade winds). (5) Teleconnections which control atmospheric winds keep in formation of geographic minds cells. (6) Control the movement of inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). (7) Cold name and heat name too are influenced by atmospheric
Impact on human settlement: 1. Influence magnetism pattern - hotspots in mediterranean (ie) Rainy winters. 2. Township industry due to pleasant climate (p): significance. 3. Ethiodal sectors with at northease mediterranean (ia) Steel industry in east. 4. Trade winds have influenced historic settlement (p): coastal areas, ancient roads (p): Gening, Venice etc
